Can mites give you lyme disease?

I was working in a factory when I got the bull's eye rash on me and the workers there to me it was from box mites.

Thanks Brneyedgrl

Here is a clip from the article, Lyme Time You Knew...

"The American Dog Tick, Lonestar Tick, and the Deer Tick, are just a few of at least 9 different species of ticks that carry the Lyme Disease spirochete.

The spirochete that causes Lyme Disease has also been found in at least 6 species of mosquitoes, 13 species of mites, 15 species of flies, 2 species of fleas, and numerous
wild and domestic mammals including rabbits, rodents, and birds.

Once transmitted to humans, the spirochete (over 300 DIFFERENT strains have been identified to date) causes damage to it's host by spreading to various parts of the body.

Other insects and modes of transmission are currently being researched.

At this time, Lyme disease is not considered to be sexually transmitted, only because there has not been a ``documented case''. It may be wise to take precautions until the studies are concluded.

The
spirochetes that cause Lyme Disease have been found in breast milk, the uterus, semen, urine, blood, the cervix, tears, brain, and other body fluids and tissues.

People with Lyme Disease should NOT donate blood."
